“My family will be meeting up with me in Paris. So, it’ll be better to keep the celebrations until then.

“For now, my main focus is to prepare myself well before I take to the court. My condition has been good so far and I’ve been training well.

“Ultimately, I just need to be wary of my opponents each round because it’s a big tournament. It will be tough because all the top players will be here and they will be playing their best,” added Chong Wei, who faces a qualifier in the opening round on Wednesday.

Two other Malaysians – Liew Daren and Chong Wei Feng – are also in the main draw. They have tough first round matches with Daren playing India’s P. Kashyap and Wei Feng facing sixth seed Nguyen Tien Minh of Vietnam.

China’s challenge will be spearheaded by world No. 2 Chen Long and world No. 3 Du Pengyu, who is tipped to meet Chong Wei in the semi-finals.
